Local authorities may provide financial support to community and voluntary groups, residents associations, Tidy Towns groups and local development associations that take part in certain initiatives. These initiatives include Places in Bloom, Bee friendly in Bloom, anti litter and environmental improvement initiatives, and gardening projects.
Local authorities, together with other agencies, may support community and voluntary groups to showcase initiatives that have created a long lasting impact in their community such as creative wellbeing, place and community tourism projects.
Local authorities prepare a record of protected structures of architectural, historical, archaeological, artistic, cultural, scientific, social or technical interest. You can have an input into the record through consultation.
